    Remarks: 
    One of twenty-nine small views of New York (nos. 1 and 7 are missing) depicting everyday life. The works are executed on slate paper that has been dated after 1825, though the views depict scenes of earlier times, during the artist's youth in New York. The works may have been done around 1869, or possibly around 1876 when the United States centennial celebration made people nostalgic.
